The Arts at Florida State University
The College of Fine Arts at FSU is home to the Departments of Art, Theatre, Dance, Interior Architecture & Design, and the Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography, offering world-class programs with top-tier faculty and facilities. The Department of Art at FSU is a research-driven community of students and faculty dedicated to the dynamic interrelationship of ideas, processes, and practices. A defining feature is the Museum of Fine Arts (MoFA), housing over 7,000 works across cultures and centuries. Its exhibitions, from student shows to global contemporary art, actively enrich campus and community life.
FSU’s Department of Art empowers students through a rigorous curriculum that spans both BFA and MFA programs, both of which are celebrated for their interdisciplinary and research-driven approaches. Undergraduate and graduate students create and exhibit across three galleries, including the student-run Working Method Contemporary and the new Fine Arts Building (FAB) Gallery launched in 2023. The brand-new FAB Gallery, carved from the Dean’s office, spotlights student and faculty work within the Fine Arts Building. The Facility for Arts Research (FAR) offers specialized labs for printmaking, spatial audio, digital fabrication, and more, fostering experimental and cross-disciplinary art‑making. Furthermore, the College of Motion Picture Arts is equipped for virtual production, screenings, and entrepreneurial filmmaking. The Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography offers a nationally recognized space for dance research and creation, reinforcing FSU’s reputation as a leader in choreographic innovation.
Together, these departments and facilities create a rich arts experience at FSU where students can engage directly in creation, curation, and performance.
